MIAMI (AP) – Genevieve became a Category 5 hurricane early Monday, the first in the East Pacific region in two years, forecasters said. It is expected to stay far out to sea on a course roughly parallel with the Mexico coast.<\/p>\n
Genevieve had maximum sustained winds of 160 mph (260 kph), according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.<\/p>\n
Genevieve\u2019s center was located about 530 miles (855 kilometers) southwest of Manzanillo, and it was headed northwest at 13 mph (20 kph).<\/p>\n
No coastal watches or warnings were in effect, but the hurricane center said that swells from the storm – likely causing \u201clife-threatening surf and rip current conditions\u201d – were affecting parts of Mexico\u2019s southwestern coast and the Baja California Peninsula.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The storm was expected to begin weakening from Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Farther northwest in the Pacific, Hurricane Fausto weakened to a Category 1 storm as it continued on a path in the general direction of the Hawaiian Islands.<\/p>\n
Forecasters said Fausto was expected to be downgraded to a tropical storm in the coming days but warned that it could still generate significant surf for parts of Hawaii.<\/p>\n
Fausto had maximum sustained winds of 80 mph (130 kph). It was located about 670 miles (1,080 kilometers) east of Hilo and was moving west-northwest at 14 mph (22 kph).<\/p>\n
